Hazrat Pir Baba (Pashto: پیر بابا), was a Sufi saint whose real name was Syed Ali Shah Tirmizi, of the Kubrawiya Silsila Tariqa (Chain/Order).[citation needed] He was probably born in Hijri or AH 908 (1431 CE), in present-day Uzbekistan, was of Arabic descent, and died in AH 991 (1502 CE).[1]

Pir Baba's grave and shrine is in Bacha Killay village in the mountainous Buner District of present-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.[2][3]
